It wasn’t long before Zoey found a loving home with Grace Chon, a commercial animal and lifestyle photographer in LA. Enter Jasper, now 10-months old, the two have quickly formed a special bond and Grace can’t help but capture their relationship on camera, I mean, what’s a mother/animal lover/photographer to do?
